Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was marching backwards incorrectly one time and I fell on my butt in front of everyone.

Lets see...this one particular incident happened when I was in 8th grade:

I was carrying this heavy base amp down a small set of stairs the day after a Jazz Band performance. Unfortunately, someone had set down some piece of sound equipment in the middle of the hall, and I couldn't see it b/c the base amp blocked my view. So I tripped on it and WHAM! The base amp lands right on the thing I tripped on (I wish I remembered what it was called >_<). Luckily, neither the base amp, nor the "thing" was broken. sweatdrop

Ok, i'll give you two....

Someone *glares at Alexis* left her Sax on the field buring a waterbreak.... Well, I had to backstep on my next drill move and I didn't see it... I tripped over it and fell on my percussionist friend.... Sorry pat... sad

Ok, another

I got REALLY dizzy at my first day of bandcamp (I'm a freshie) and I kicked 2 trombones, 1 flute and a trumpet on my way to the wall to get water.... I'll never live that down...

i had an embarassing moment today actually. we were doing drill and mixed up two of my sets so i ended up doing everything wrong. our marching director didn't say anything but i know what he was thinking. redface

I had accidentally left my pajama pants on when I put on my uniform for the area marching contest. They're purple/lime green/orange plaid and stuck out of the bottom of my pants. I got off of the bus, looked down, and said many obscenities. I had to tuck my pants into my socks so they wouldn't show; I was paranoid the entire show that they had fallen out and the judges could see them.

Here's two more.

Last week I was sitting in band and I was trying to raise my stand. Apparently, my fellow flute player had switched our stands. So this one was stuck. We were between practicing songs and just as the BD raises his conductor stick thingy ( xp ), I rip off the top of the metal stand. I look at my friend and say, quite loudly, "I TOLD YOU IT WAS STUCK!" Everyone was laughing at me, it was so embarrassing.

And another thing, not really embarrassing, but anyway. The BD always plays the intraments to show the rest of us how it's 'suppose' to sound. Well, it's pretty chilly in the bandroom somedays, so when he get's his trombone, it's all cold inside. The condensation builds up, and right in front of the flutes, on the last note, he lets all of the condensation out the spit valve, and most of us let out a scream of discust and move our chairs back. I look back and trombones are laughing like idiots...every time. The BD never fails to say "I did that for the flutes."
(which he calls the fruits...?)

Me and my friend (we are flutes so we sit in front) we talking about random stuff when all of a sudden she looked at me and asked,

"You know whats hot in guys?"

and I said "No what?"

and she said
" Guys in black shirts"

When we looked up the new High School percussionist and the band director were both wearing black shirts! IT was hilarious. We both fell out of our seats and the BD thought we were nuts because he had no idea WHY we were laughing.

I was standing in a corner before band started, playing a piece of music form the year before that I really love. Then someone taps me on the shoulder, and I was so immersed in t he music that I spun around and had my flute at their head before I realized where I was. So I said, "What, what?!?!" And it turns out that the BD and the whole band was just staring at me and waiting for me to realize that everything had gone quiet.
